The Use of Transcranial Magnetic Brain Stimulation to Study Cerebellar Language Function
Beeton, Alan; Allen-Walker, Louise; Bracewell, Martyn
Many researchers now use noninvasive brain stimulation to investigate a wide range of problems in cognitive neuroscience. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used successfully for more than a decade to study the functions of the cerebral cortex. There is now growing interest in applying TMS to the study of cerebellar functions. We briefly review studies that have used this technique to investigate linguistic functions of the cerebellum. Despite the relative ease of application of TMS to the region over the posterior fossa, several theoretical and methodological issues need to be carefully considered by workers in the field, whereas experimental results to date leave many questions unanswered. In particular, downstream effects of cerebellar stimulation on the cerebral cortex require to be rigorously evaluated. It is likely that TMS used in conjunction with electrophysiological recording will prove productive in future research.

Empathy and perception of emotion in eyes from the FEEST/Ekman and Friesen faces
Allen-Walker, Louise; Beeton, Alan
Photographs from the FEEST/Ekman and Friesen 60 faces set were cropped to show only the eye region and presented to participants in each of two experiments. In the first, 60 participants were required to choose which one of the six basic emotions was represented in each pair of eyes. In the second experiment, the stimuli were presented to 40 different participants who were asked to rate the intensity of expression in each pair of eyes. In both experiments participants completed the Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright (2004) empathy questionnaire. In Experiment 1 there was no relation between empathy scores and accuracy of recognition. In Experiment 2 participants mean ratings of intensity across emotions correlated significantly with their empathy scores. There was no relationship between accuracy of recognition for different emotions in Experiment 1 and the mean intensity ratings given to the same stimuli in Experiment 2. Future research should explore different aspects and measures of empathy in relation to different emotions and experimental tasks.

Facilitation of Fast Backward Priming After Left Cerebellar Continuous Theta-Burst Stimulation
Allen-Walker, Louise; Bracewell, Martyn; Thierry, Guillaume; Mari-Beffa, Paloma
Traditional theories of backward priming account only for the priming effects found at long stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs). Here, we suggest that the presence of backward priming at short SOAs may be related to the integrative role of the cerebellum. Previous research has shown that the right cerebellum is involved in forward associative priming. Functional magnetic resonance imaging reveals some activation of the left cerebellar hemisphere during backward priming; but what this activation represents is unclear. Here we explore this issue using continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) and associative priming in a lexical decision task. We tested the hypothesis that the left cerebellum plays a role in backward priming and that this is dissociated from the role of the right cerebellum in forward priming. Before and after cTBS was applied to their left and right cerebellar hemispheres, participants completed a lexical decision task. Although we did not replicate the forward priming effect reported in the literature, we did find a significant increase in backward priming after left relative to right cerebellar cTBS. We consider how theories of cerebellar function in the motor domain can be extended to language and cognitive models of backward priming.
